Facing Summer Break During A Pandemic - A Conversation For Kansas City Parents

KCUR's Sylvia Maria Gross hosts a panel discussion about how Kansas City parents can best take care of their children during summer break amid the coronavirus pandemic.

It's hard enough to keep kids occupied during summer break — but it's even harder in the middle of a pandemic.

Panelists:

- Dr. Natasha Burgert, pediatrician, Pediatric Associates, kckidsdoc.com

- Deidre Anderson, CEO, United Inner City Services

- Dr. Sarah Martin, vice president of health solutions, mySidewalk

- Vladimir Sainte, LCSW, Truman Behavioral Health
